The WWF Signs Four New Developmental Talents from Ultimate Pro Wrestling

Four of Ultimate Pro Wrestling's top stars, Aaron Aguilera, Basil Bozinis, John Cena and Justin McCully, have signed developmental contracts with the World Wrestling Federation. UPW CEO and Co-President, Rick Bassman (a trainer who had a hand in the early careers of both Sting and the Warrior), is quite pleased with the success of the four men who came out of his wrestling school, Ultimate University.

"This is a huge milestone for the Ultimate family, particularly since three of the four stepped into the ring for the first time ever at Ultimate University. All four are great guys and excellent prospects and I have reason to believe that they're all going to hit it big. The WWF has opted to leave Aguilera, Bozinis, Cena and McCully in California, at least for the time being, where these four gentlemen will continue to train at Ultimate University and appear in UPW (Ultimate Pro Wrestling) shows."

Aguilera currently wrestles as the heelish "Hardcore Kid," complete with the motto, "If you're not cheating, you're not trying." Basil Bozinis competes under the moniker, "Bad Boy Basil," a tough guy from New Orleans, Louisiana who would rather use a chair to finish off a match. John Cena is known as "The Prototype," a "robotic" machine of a man. On his UPW profile, Justin McCully (AKA Justin Sane) has some less than flattering words for a few current WWF and WCW stars. -- "I would like to wrestle The Rock so I could shut his ass up! I could show Stone Cold who the man is and even fight Goldberg to teach him who's next!"
